    Whitey Herzog dead at 92

    I always rooted for them, because they were in charge of Job 1 whenever we failed, but sadly they too came up short in taking care of that responsibility, except in 1980, but Whitey was gone by then. But I have a best friend who is a Cardinals fan, and he looks back on the Whitey era the way we...

    Seems perfectly sane to me. But I lived through the same horrors you did.

    4/13 Schrödinger's Fandom

    Did I ever tell you about the time one of my best friends called me so we could "count the last six outs" of a game? That was Game 7 of the 2003 ALCS. He's a Cardinals fan. I considered 2004 and 2013 karmic justice for what he did to me that night.

    4/12 A-Holes In The Infield.....

    He was at the club, but shows up after the game and meets Bob Hope in the Indians locker room where Lucy pops in disguised as an Indians pitcher (complete with a Bobby V-esque fake mustache). Ricky recognizes her, clues Bob in, and they offer her a chaw of tobacco, which she swallows. They all...

    4/12 A-Holes In The Infield.....

    On I Love Lucy, Lucy, Fred, and Ethel went to a MFY-Indians game in 1956. There she ran into then Indians co-owner Bob Hope and caused him to get hit in the head with a baseball.

    I did not know that.

    March/April 2024 MLB Gamethread

    These Phillies City Connect uniforms are awful, which I guess is just par for the course.

    The Juice Expires (OJ Dead at 76)

    I think you also have to throw in as a cause for the vitriol that his case reminded us all of how racially divided our country still was at the time, and still is today. But your point is correct--in the end, the color that mattered most in his trial was green.

    The Juice Expires (OJ Dead at 76)

    I don't know if anything can alter his legacy at this point, but I wonder what effect something like that might have on it.

    The Juice Expires (OJ Dead at 76)

    I feel bad for his children. They must be dealing with some complicated feelings over this.

    Flush It and Get Over It!

    This is going to have to be a "focus on the positive even in the losses" type of year.

    2024 College Basketball Coaching Carousel

    To this point: After UConn beat Purdue 75-60 to repeat as NCAA tournament champions, Hurley addressed the opening with a few jokes, telling reporters he doesn't "think that's a concern" when asked about Kentucky. He added they should ask his wife, Andrea, who is also a native of New Jersey...

    NCAA Men's Final Four Thread

    I loved Jay Wright bringing up Hurley's "Get us now, because we're coming." comment two years ago after they last lost in the NCAAs. He and his team cashed that check his mouth wrote. Congrats to UConn, who were even better bearing the crown they earned last year than they were when they won it.
